The management of the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) has mandated the management of Shooting Stars Sports club of Ibadan to pick between the stadiums in Lagos and Ogun for their subsequent home games.
This decision, NPFL’s management wrote, became inevitable because of the poor state of the club’s stadium in Adamasigba.
The statement read: “We bring you compliments of the Board, Management and Staff of the Nigeria Premier Football League. We wish to inform you t hat subsequent to the broadcast and television rights entered into by the Nigeria Premier Football League re cently, it has become necessary to inform you that the LEKAN SALAMI STADIUM is no more suitable to host NPFL matches.
“Based on the above, you are required to choose an alternative venue between the MKO ABIOLA STADIUM ABEOKUTA and the MOBOLAJI JOHSO ARENA LAGOS to host your home fixtures. Your reply should reach the NPFL secretariat on or before the close of business on Monday 2 ° February 2026, or the NPFL will be forced to allocate a venue for you.
“This is for your information and immediate compliance. Accept the assurances of our best sporting regards.”
